Our Unmarried Daughters.

Thomas Hughes SAYS there is a pccu-
liar charm about the words "one's own"
which it takes u man or boy long to
find out, but / doubt, says writer in
the Philadelphia Press, if there is wo-
man who from baDyhood has not rccog-
nized that charm. Let us then think
with more consideration than has been
our wont of those women who havo
never taken upon themselves the pleas
ures and cares of welded life, but whose
lives nave been given up to others far
more than have those of the majority of
their welded sisters.
One such woman has charge of q
household whose inmates are an invalid
mother, q feeble grandmother, and
bachelor brother. She makes the home
happy for them. and with what return
for this sacrifice of her girlhoodP What
are her priviegesp She can not order
a dinner exactly TO suit herself or have
it served according to her own ideas,
and to change the hour of n meal or
ask friend in without first holding
family consultation would be consider
ed high treason.
1t is possible that even mothers are q
little too selfish and exacting toward
their unmarried daughters. There is
widow with three unmarried daughters
of "uncertain age" 1t would be de-
cided convenience to the musician of
the family if the piano could be moved
to another part of the room. She
speaks to her mother about it. The re-
ply is: Il see no reason, Envy, why it
should be moved; it has no trials and
difficulties to overcome" and of them
it is required that they shall be always
cheerful and amixblc.
There is another family with ono UNI
married daughter still at home. She
does much of the housekeeping and the
family sewing. but her recreation, that
she loves above all else, is her palette
and brush; and yet even her time is not
her own. She has not one uninter-
ruptcd hour during the day. Patiently
day after day she puts aside her canvas
to lit on mothers dress or sew on faith
or's buttons or sec that the spare room
is made ready for mothers friends, and
day after day and week after week the
work she longed to do has had TO be
put off till some future time, which never
comes
This young woman is q type OF a class
whose burdens arc heavy because maslc
up of numbcrless trifles. Can we not
by little more thought for her who
thinks SO often for others add some
thing to her pleasures?
